978-0-443-31654-8 (ISBN)
Real-life case studies showcase how bioactive compounds, nutraceuticals, and other bio-based enzymes can be derived from waste, providing insights into innovative food product development. This comprehensive guide is an essential resource for anyone interested in sustainable waste management and the creation of functional, eco-friendly products. Globally, it is estimated 1.3 billion tons of food, valued at $1 trillion is wasted a year, according to the United Nations and the Food and Agriculture Organization. (FAO) In addition, billions of tons of agro-industrial waste from agriculture and food processing activities are generated yearly, putting a strain on natural resources, and negatively effecting the environment.
Mika Sillanpää’s research work centers on chemical treatment in environmental engineering and environmental monitoring and analysis. The recent research focus has been on the resource recovery from waste streams. Sillanpää received his M.Sc. (Eng.) and D.Sc. (Eng.) degrees from the Aalto University where he also completed an MBA degree in 2013.
